Occulted Jade

Occulted Jade, Archon of Tides, is the founder of the School of Tides, as well as its only ruler. Though she wore the title Archon, Occulted Jade never bowed to Kyros, though many have tried to compel her to do so. Having arrived with the settlers that made landfall at Five Wives, she is perhaps the oldest (known) living Tiersman. Capable of manipulating the oceans, the moons, and all the transitory forms of water, Occulted Jade used her magic to form a cabal of seafaring traders, musicians, and academicians - and it was the dedication to the arts that helped the School endure, for by teaching these trades to the children of noble families, the School remained in the good graces of the realms.

Being able to control most anything cyclical and fluid, Occulted Jade has lived for centuries and could still be alive today - but none know with certainty. In the years before the conquest, the School of Tides discovered the Overlord's plan to invade. Despite all assumptions that the Tier's resident Archon would defend her school and home, to the surprise of everyone, the Archon vanished across the seas, taking nearly the entire School of Tides with her into exile across uncharted waters.
